Who gets the spotting damage then? The tank that shot it (if assumed it self spotted)?

So, you only get spotting damage if no one else spots it before it gets hit?

Even if you get the initial spot, If he drives into several spotting lines, as in more then one keeps him spotted. The assist is divided among the number of spotters. If he got the initial spot on a light that is moving across the map on the edge of his view range. And he moves out of his spotting range and into others. He can still get nothing when they damage it, and everything goes to the one now keeping him lit. Even if it's just a second or two later.

Thanks, its that bit which I didnt understand. I always assumed that I spotted first (and lit him up for x seconds) therefore I should share a part of subsequent damage.

Example:
I drive alone into enemy spawn and i spot an artillery, 3sec later our arty takes in out = i get nothing, in other words no assist.

If you are alone and no one is keeping him spotted, that should not happen. Unless there are 6 friendlies 10m behind you keeping him lit and you move behind a rock that is. Unless arty got despotted, and he takes him out a few seconds later. As spotting assist is still rewarded on those that go despotted for a few seconds after they disappear.

As without a replay seeing who were close to you and what you did or did not drive behind etc. Anything we say is still only speculations.

Example:
I drive alone into enemy spawn and i spot an artillery, 3sec later our arty takes in out = i get nothing, in other words no assist.

You would either get:

A.) Full assisted damage & XP (being 50% of that awarded to the damage dealer normally) if you are the only one spotting the SPG, meaning also your friendly SPG is not able to spot that enemy SPG.

B.) Partial assisted damage & XP if others are spotting the enemy SPG as well (the aforementioned 50% divided by number of spotters), but the damage dealing friendly SPG is not able to spot that SPG.

C.) No assisted damage & XP if the damage dealing friendly SPG is able to spot that enemy SPG, OR when the enemy SPG disappeared from sight again and after the grace period has ended (e.g. friendly SPG blind fired).

I don't think it works like that... Many times I have assisted damage brawling with other tanks that can see the tank they are shooting...

Except of course that it does. In your case, either your estimation on what others in your team can spot is simply wrong, or you simply detracked the opponent and received assisted damage that way.
